OK, so this one is wrong on two counts: 1. it needs to be $PCP_COMPRESS=xz ($PCP_ prefix is missing) ... I think this matches the pmlogger.control(5) man page, and 2. it needs to be *before* the LOCALHOSTNAME line ... the file is processed serially, and that is *not* explained in the pmlogger.control(5) man page, so I'll fix that BUT, that does not explain the problem ... since COMPRESS=xz is having no effect, you're in the default scenario where $PCP_COMPRESS defaults (in your version of PCP, it changes in PCP 7.0) to xz. So, can you please add to the bug with the *exact* message from pmlogger_daily? I'm curious that you report "compression program not found", I'd have expected something like: Error: xz: compression program not found (is xz not there in your case?) Which leads me to ... where is xz installed? The output from the following commands would be helpful: $ which xz $ xz --version I have a new qa/1651 based on your bug, and it is passing (and running xz with and without the fixed control file) on my x86_64 Debian 13.3 QA system (vm23), so something's different between your system and mine.
